Whether you’re a veteran hunter looking to optimize your solo clears or a rising player working toward that 400k power threshold, this guide delivers everything you need to master the Igris Commander Raid.

Igris Commander Raid: Complete Overview

Location & Entry Requirements

Finding the raid entrance is your first challenge. The Igris Commander Raid is located in the diamond-shaped cove near the corner of the massive Hexagon structure on the main map. Here’s exactly how to access it:

Navigate to the diamond-shaped cove area near the large hexagon corner
Enter the cave located in that area
Complete the trial by pressing the button and clearing the challenge
Unlock the raid gate at the back of the cave

Pro Tip: Once unlocked, the gate remains accessible even after switching servers, making it convenient for farming across multiple instances.

Entry Requirements:

Minimum Power: 400,000 Power (non-negotiable)
Level: Max level recommended
Gear: Full Shiny Set with S+ damage weapon
Consumables: Maximum potions (5) farmed from Power Breaks

Attempting this raid below 400k power will result in immediate failure due to damage mitigation mechanics that make your attacks hit like wet noodles.

Igris Boss Mechanics: Phase-by-Phase Breakdown

Phase 1: The Warm-Up (5 Bars → 2.5 Bars)

Phase 1 serves as Igris’s warm-up phase, lasting until he reaches approximately 2.5 health bars. While manageable, this phase requires precise positioning and awareness.

Key Attacks to Master:

Dash Attack: Telegraphed with red ground indicators – use dodge frames (i-frames) to avoid
Heavy Slash: Slow but devastating – maintain distance and dodge on cue
Grab Attacks: Two variations that punish greedy players – always maintain safe distance

Phase 1 Strategy:

Start immediately by dodging his opening charged attack
Maintain distance – go in for hits, then back away
Watch red lines on ground for telegraphed attacks
Don’t use potions – regenerate health by moving around
Stay patient – this phase isn’t super punishing if played correctly

Critical Insight: Igris’s attacks are consistently telegraphed. Learning the timing of his dash and heavy slash animations is crucial for maintaining damage uptime while avoiding damage.

Phase 2: The Kill Zone (2.5 Bars → Defeat)

When Igris drops below 2.5 HP bars, Phase 2 begins with three devastating changes that can wipe unprepared parties:

Full Heal: Complete regeneration to 100% HP
Defense Buff: Massive defense increase making him incredibly tanky
Sword Summon: Floating swords that lock down arena areas

New Phase 2 Attacks:

Throw Attack: Projectiles you must jump over
Giant Swords: Fall from sky, stick you to ground – must defeat swords to escape
Enhanced Dash: More aggressive straight-line attacks

Phase 2 Strategy:

IGNORE THE BOSS INITIALLY – focus all DPS on destroying summoned swords first
Break swords immediately to regain movement space and lower his defense threshold
Use potions only at 10k health (his attacks deal 8k-10k damage)
Final bar strategy: Get close and spam attacks if you have good setup
Maintain mobility with skills featuring invincibility frames

Game-Changing Tip: The summoned swords are your priority target, not the boss. Getting cornered by swords means instant death, regardless of your power level.

Raid Drops & Farming Expectations

The Igris Commander Raid offers four exclusive drops with brutal RNG that will test your patience:

Item	Drop Rate	Average Runs	Time Investment
Igris Sword	1%	~100 runs	50+ hours
Helmet	2%	~50 runs	25+ hours
Chestplate	2%	~50 runs	25+ hours
Leggings	2%	~50 runs	25+ hours

Important Notes:

No pity system exists – pure RNG determines drops
Full set can easily require 100+ hours depending on luck
Server hopping on private servers enables instant respawns
Potion drops from successful runs help sustain future attempts

Brutal Reality: Prepare mentally for 50+ hours of grinding if you’re chasing a full shiny set. The 1% sword drop rate means some players may need 200+ runs for completion.

Leveling Strategy: Empowered Gates System

For players under 400k power, Empowered Gates are your fastest path to raid readiness. These golden gates revolutionize leveling in Solo Hunters.

Empowered Gates Explained

Empowered Gates are special golden gates that randomly spawn where normal gates appear, offering massively increased XP rewards:

Key Details:

Spawn Rate: Random locations where regular gates appear
Respawn Timer: Approximately 15 minutes
Clear Time: Longer than standard gates but worth the investment
XP Reward: S+ gates can grant 26 million XP per run

Optimal Farming Strategy:

Rotate the map systematically checking gate locations
Prioritize golden gates over all other content until 400k power

Time investment: Each S+ gate provides the best time-to-XP ratio in game

Server hop after clearing to find more empowered gates

Leveling Secret: An S+ Empowered Gate providing 26M XP is currently the fastest leveling method in Solo Hunters, making it essential for reaching the 400k power requirement.

Time Machine AFK System: Passive Gem Generation

The Time Machine feature quietly revolutionizes resource generation in Solo Hunters, providing passive rewards while you’re offline or busy.

Time Machine Mechanics

How It Works:

Gem Generation: Guaranteed minimum of 1 gem per minute
Class Rerolls: 0.5% chance per minute (average 1 reroll every 3 hours)
Party Bonus: More friends = better drop multipliers
Auto-Reset: No manual input required, completely passive

Optimization Strategy:

Park your character in Time Machine when going offline/sleeping
Invite friends to boost drop multipliers
Mobile players benefit especially from this passive system
Daily routine – collect gems before starting active gameplay

Pro Insight: Even active players should use the Time Machine during sleep, school, or work. Free class rerolls are incredibly valuable for build optimization, and this system provides them consistently.

Solo vs. Group Raiding: Which Is Better?

Party Scaling Mechanics

The Igris Commander Raid features unique party scaling that affects your strategy:

Scaling Details:

Supports up to 22 players (server limit)
Scales by increasing DEFENSE, not health
More players = less damage per hit for everyone
No health increase with additional players

Solo vs. Group Recommendations

Solo Raiding (Recommended for Maxed Players):

Faster clear times due to no defense scaling penalty
Full loot control – no competition for drops
Flexible timing – no need to coordinate with others
Higher skill requirement – no safety net

Group Raiding (Recommended for Non-Maxed Players):

Easier clears with shared damage output
Learning opportunity – observe experienced players
Social experience – enjoy content with friends
Slower individual progression due to defense scaling

Critical Decision: If you’re maxed out (near power cap), solo farming is significantly more efficient. If you’re below max but above 400k, join organized groups for consistent clears.

Q: Can I beat the Igris raid with under 400k power?

A: No, attempting the raid below 400k power results in near-instant loss due to damage mitigation mechanics. Focus on Empowered Gates until you reach the requirement.
